MONZA, ITALY - Retired world champion Nico Rosberg has moved to cool down a Formula One spat after his former Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton suggested the German had become"irrelevant".
Hamilton, heading for his sixth title this season, made his comments after Red Bull's Max Verstappen hit back at criticism from Rosberg, who is now a Sky Sports television pundit and YouTube blogger. He also compared him to 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, known for forthright and often controversial opinions about the sport.
Asked after Italian Grand Prix qualifying about his post, and what he thought of Rosberg's comments, Hamilton made a further dig at his former teammate while siding with Verstappen."Unfortunately, drivers become irrelevant when they retire and ultimately have to hang on to utilise other people's light to keep them in the light and so...but that's the way of sport, I guess," he said.
